I guess what I mean is, you would have a need to suggest a "build it and they will come" type of development.
I do not see art as a huge thing around here, but then again, I do not look for it either. It just seems like a stretch that the local gov. would give it anything thought. I do not want to talk bad about anyone, however, none of them seem like they deal in art at all. Every time something this big is suggested, someone has some stake in it.

I don't know. I think art definitely has it's place Downtown. There is a large art following amongst the younger population. You just need to see the thousands of people that attend the Stockley Garden Art Festival and the new Art Everywhere downtown. Of course, you've also got D'Art Center in the Selden Arcade, which is dedicated to displaying art, as well as teaching it. The Chrysler Museum also has a poplur Glass-blowing exhibit that's been getting rave reviews and has drawn tons of visitors.
I think Norfolk should definitely capitalize on that interest, and the area near the Chrysler Museum just north of Brambleton, might be a good location to look at.
